VERSE 1
There’s something I’ve been feelin’
Man I gotta say
Just somethin’ gnawin’ at me it won’t go away
Been flowing in the crowd, yeah
It ain’t feelin’ right
Can’t breathe with all this clatter chewin’ on my mind

The sheen of the suicide screen
Is shakin’ my memory
It’s drippin’ into my skin and jammin’ up my dream
Take all of your toxic toys
They tuck you into the void
Can’t spend another minute watchin’ plastic taffy noise

HOOK
If this is the way, if this is the game
Then I don’t want in
If this is the play I don’t want no part
Lemme say it again
No, I don’t want in

No longer can I spend my nights stuck to a wall
No pullin’ all my aspirations off the floor
Collectin’ a pocket of grit it cuts me to my veins
I just want freedom
I don’t wanna stay the same
Take all of your glowin’ toys
They tuck you into the void
Can’t spend another minute talkin’ – plastic taffy noise

[HOOK]

RAP
Brothas loosin’ sync
Sistas outta step
Find your soul cat
Find that groove
Don’t let your light, your music, your laughter… be in vain

B-SECTION
Take all of your toxic toys
They tuck you into the void
Can’t spend another second stuck
It’s all plastic taffy noise

[HOOK]

VAMP
Somethin’ gnawin’ it ain’t feelin’ right
Somethin’ gnawin’ at me just ain’t feelin’ right
Somethin’ gnawin’ it ain’t feelin’ right
Somethin’ gnawin’ at me just ain’t feelin’ right
Somethin’ gnawin’ it ain’t feelin’ right
Somethin’ gnawin’ at me it ain’t feelin’ right
